Jim Word

Meet Jim

“Texan by birth, Alabamian by fire”. I trusted Christ during Vacation Bible School early on then committed to following hard after God the summer before my first year in Bible College. I graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1986 and subsequently pastored in three different churches over the course of 20 years. God has most powerfully used the brokenness of my life and marriage to bring me closer to Him. It truly is good that I was afflicted so that I may learn His ways.

My deep conviction is that God uses His Word and His people, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to move people closer into an intimate relationship with Him. Sometimes that process is smooth and sometimes not. Either way, the goal is our abiding walk with Jesus. What a privilege to be part of a dynamic Community Team and as a Married Community Director it is my joy to keep pointing folks to Him! Great gift ideas: good coffee or fine cigars! Roll Tide Roll!
